Chapter 9


 

Alice and Dana were in Shane’s room in less than five minutes.

Alice: (looking confused) What?! What the hell McCutheon?!

Shane: ok ok (trying to calm down Alice) remember when you told me that the legend was coming here?

Dana: who’s the legend?

Shane looked at Dana with a "which country are you from" face.

Alice: Ohhh honey. Bette. Who else? (looking back at Shane) and yes I remember.

Dana: Ohhhh. Sorry!

Shane: (rolling her eyes) ok and we were having lunch with Tina. and all I know is that two days later she called me at 9 am to ask me the legend’s full name.

Alice: Get out!!!!! (not knowing what to say.) I can’t believe you. how did this happen? What did you do? What did you tell her? Wh

Shane: (interrupting Alice) Alice!! Shut up!! Let me finish

At that moment Dana placed the palm of her hand covering Alice‘s mouth with a "go on" face

Shane: thank you. I didn’t tell her Bette’s name then this afternoon when I went to see Bette she told me that all she had been thinking for the last past day was Tina.

Alice: (her face was red and her eyes seemed to be out of place from the urge to speak so she bite Dana’s hand)

Dana: ooouuuccchhhh!! What the fuck? Are you crazy?

Alice: you weren’t complaining earlier.

Shane: oh guys please. (looking disgusted) focus.

Alice: ok. So what happened?

Shane: (sarcastically) I’m trying to get there Al so I agreeded with each of them to meet me on the deck an hour before the ceremony

Alice: there’s no way you would have done that. Who are you and what have you done with my friend Shane?

Shane: Alice! This is serious.

Alice: but it’s hard to believe. The Yoda I know breaks every existing rule but her own how could you do this Shane?

Shane: what you really mean is how could I do this without you but that’s not the point there’s more they met talked and kissed and then Tina freaked out on Bette and run away but the most important thing is that. They didn’t tell each others names (now looking at Alice with scared eyes)

Both Alice and Dana couldn’t even blink.

Shane: (now more scared) so??? I need a little help here come on say something.

Dana: please tell me this is just a big fucking joke

Shane: (nodding her head no) sorry

Alice: (sarcastically) which one of them do you think we can throw overboard and leave drowning in the middle of the fucking ocean.

Shane: (giving Alice a cold stare) not helping

Alice: (still sarcastic) no seriously. Because when they found out about this. And believe me. they will, they are going to use us to fead the sharks!!!

Shane: (burring her face on her hands) Fuck!!!

Awkward silence.

Dana: well. The only solution I see is to bring them back together in the same room and make sure they fucking introduce themselves How could they not do that?

Alice: (nodding her head a yes) that’s a good one we put them back together there’s no other way

Shane: (contemplating the floor) yeah. That might work but I think they’re still going to kill us.

Alice: well I agree with you but we’re in a big boat we can hide in a lot of different places for two weeks

Shane: very funny Al ok you make sure Bette is at the bar and I’ll pick up Tina I’ll see you both in fifteen minutes Ok?
